Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I reserve hotel rooms for my wedding guests in Charlotte?
Most couples book their guest room block 6 to 9 months before the wedding date, especially if your celebration falls during a popular season or weekend. Booking early gives your out-of-town guests time to plan and often secures better rates. If you're planning a smaller wedding or have flexibility on dates, 3 to 4 months can work, but earlier is always safer.
How do I book a block of rooms for guests attending my wedding?
If you need 8 rooms or fewer, you can search and book them yourself directly on Engine. For a block of 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking for you. Both options give you access to pre-negotiated rates at hotels across Charlotte.
Who pays for the wedding guest room block, and how does billing work?
Typically, each guest pays for their own room, though you can choose to cover some or all of the cost. Engine offers consolidated invoicing so you can manage payments in one place, with multiple payment options and no membership fee. This makes it easy to track your block and handle any group charges.
What should I look for in a hotel for my Charlotte wedding?
A strong wedding hotel offers ample reception and banquet space, on-site guest rooms so your party can stay close, and flexible event facilities. Many properties also provide getting-ready suites and coordination support, though those amenities vary by hotel. The Hilton Charlotte University Place, for example, has about 19,000 square feet of event space and 17 event rooms, while The Westin Charlotte offers about 16,000 square feet across 28 event rooms.
What should I compare when choosing where to put my wedding guests?
Look at each hotel's location relative to your ceremony and reception, the room rates and cancellation policies, and the size of their event space if you're hosting events on-site. Check how many rooms are available for your block and whether the property has amenities your guests will appreciate, like parking, breakfast, or a shuttle. Engine lets you search and compare these details side by side.
